Hey there!

I am a painter, set designer and yoga & meditation trainer. I also sing, dance and woodcarve frequently but not professionally. I also do videography, but I prefer to play with non digital stuff lately. I do and try lots of things to create with the soul of amateurism and enthusiasm.

I like to read, see, interpret, and talk about everything (spiritual, philosophic, scientific ways) that tries to understand the world and ourselves.

I do love animals and actually they also love me. I don't know, it's like everytime I meet an animal (does not matter if it's wild or domestic), it slows down and hugs me! I feel like a disney princess around animals. Hope NAZAR does not touch to my this very feature :)

I am a nature person more than a city person. I also care about low impact living, and respecting nature.

I love stories, especially listening to them. Of course I also have so many of them and am willing to share with you.

I am a nonsmoker, and occasional socially drinker.

Too many I's wonder above to share with you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is my passion besides creating, and traveling without meeting locals.. is.. just.. tasteless touristing for me.

After staying and sharing together, and when the time comes to leave, a strange emotion of knowing I have a home there, and they have a home where I live (also where my beloved friends live on this earth) emerges. It is like a hope, a hope for humanity, a hope for true connection.

I live my life as experience based, not money based. I love the authenticity of "not everything can be purchasable", and I live for it. I try to do exchanges instead of using money in the areas that I am capable of.

I love to see trust, openness and wonder in people's eyes and I seek for that emotional comfort.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen different genres depending on my mood. I listen (and make) chill, sometimes low-fi, more like a jazzy stuff lately.
I do like to listen every stage of Thom Yorke since 90's.
But I guess The Rain Song from Led Zeppelin could be the song of me.
While writing this, I realize that music is for keeping or changing the mood (at least for me).

Any movie and book that makes me think outside of the box is my favourite.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Bosnia
I was heading to a creek in a deep forest, and saw a hazelnut on the way. While taking it, I was surprised how this forrest strangely contains the same kind of trees with my hometown. When I crouch down to fill my bottle up, I realized branches of trees were shaking at a bit far. I tried to see what was happening, while shaking branches were coming closer. Then it showed me itself from the far: a black squirrel. Then it continued to jump around, I smiled and felt lucky, continued to fill my bottle. Then it jumped, jumped, and sat down on to the little rock just in front of me. I was shocked, we were looking into each other's eyes. Suddenly remembered I was still holding that hazelnut. I dropped it on the rock, it took it with its little hands, looked at me last time and jumped.
I've learned to feel alive with the smallest experiences like this, which is still amazing for me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

In case we don't have much time: we can share a lively conversation with lots of smile

In case we have much more time: Why not walking around, or going on a little trip, cooking or eating together? Also, I' can guide you on a meditation session, or we can paint a little piece of your wall together, or I can paint something for you
Plus: if you're into improvising music, oh we'll have a good time

And last but not least, I am bringing my positive and calm energy to your home for sure.
